The military generals of the Manchu Dynasty could not compete with the civil officials at ordinary times, and it is the same today. The civil officials scrambled to destroy their country and kill their people, but the military generals were unable to intervene for a while.
With the scene in front of him, Zhu Youjian could only scream in secret:
"Fuck, what happened to these Qingliu today? This is not their normal behavior!"
Zhu Youjian was happy and relieved at the same time. He waved his hand to silence the civil servant temporarily:
"My dear friends, I am very pleased with your loyalty and love for Daming. Please be quiet for a while and listen to the opinions of the generals."
"According to the purpose"
Seeing what the emperor said, the civil servants immediately retreated to the court, and all looked at the gang of generals. If there is a general who is timid to fight today, they will definitely kill him.
The military generals looked at the man-eating eyes of the civil servants, and they were secretly amused, but they still liked this atmosphere very much. The civil servants may not fight, but they must not prevent the generals from going out.
Sun Chuanting was a civil servant and the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, but he was also the battle-hardened God of War of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing that it was finally their turn to speak, Sun Chuanting stepped forward and clasped his fists together:
"Your Majesty said it should be Hong Mao, who has invaded Taiwan for many years, but now dares to slaughter our Ming people and rob our merchant ships. Sun Chuanting is not talented, so he dares to ask His Majesty to fight."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang immediately went out to salute:
"Your Majesty, I believe that the navy is the main force to send troops to attack Hongmao, and I am also good at naval warfare. Please send an order to the Qi family army to be willing to serve the country and lead the battle."
Before Qi Jiguang finished speaking, Huang Degong came out of class to salute:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to march."
Sun Chengzhong:
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to lead troops to march."
……
A group of generals actively started to challenge the battle, and no one was willing to lag behind, as long as Zheng Chenggong, who came back to receive the battleship, stood there smiling and saying nothing.
Standing behind Zheng Chenggong are Li Dingguo and Yan Yingyuan. They all returned to the capital with Zheng Chenggong. Now there are Zhang Huangyan, Huang Fei, Shi Lang and Liu Wenxiu sitting in Taiwan.
It wasn't that Zheng Chenggong didn't dare to ask for a fight. They knew very well that no matter what country was attacked in the West, the Ming Navy would bear the brunt of it, so there was no need to rush.
And the two commanders of the Damen Dragon Banner Army are sitting firmly on Mount Tai. The nature of their army is equivalent to our current naval special forces, and they are indispensable for sea landing battles.
After a group of generals called for the battle, they found that the emperor hadn't spoken. He followed the emperor's gaze, only to find that Zheng Chenggong and others hadn't made a statement, and they seemed to be enlightened.
Zheng Chenggong, the captain of the Ming Navy, did not speak. Although there are thousands of troops, facing the vast sea, they can only be in a hurry and have nothing to do.
Huang Degong went up and grabbed Zheng Chenggong's arm:
"Okay, Zheng Chenggong, look at our joke, tell us quickly, how many troops your navy can let you cross the sea to fight."
Huang Degong's words are equivalent to asking the aspirations of all generals. Everyone focused on Zheng Chenggong, wondering how much the navy's capacity is now.
Zheng Chenggong smiled:
"General Huang, I understand how you feel. There are so many generals who want to lead troops to fight. As for who will go, it depends on the arrangement of the Holy Majesty. To tell you the truth, the strength of the navy now exceeds that of Zheng He when he went to the Western Seas. Do you think you can?" How many people and horses to cross?"
After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, he gently pushed away Huang Degong's big hand, and then bowed to Zhu Youjian:
"Your Majesty, there is no country on land that can pose a threat to Ming Dynasty. I know that you must be talking about Hongmao Fan. The Ming Dynasty Navy has the strength to take down their headquarters in Batavia in Asia."
When it comes to who is going to lead the troops, the civil servants consciously shut up, and no one talks too much, they know very well that this is not their specialty.
Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"Sun Chuanting, as the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, must sit in the capital to command the overall situation. Sun Chengzhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, you must continue to increase conscription efforts in the rear, provide logistical assistance for the army, and pay attention to balancing various forces in the country. When facing a strong enemy, we must keep it steady."
Sun Chengzhong knew that he was old, and now that there are so many talented people in the Ming Dynasty, there is no need for him to lead troops to fight. He had no objection to this, and hurriedly bowed to accept the order:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will obey the order."
Sun Chuanting couldn't help but think of the scene when the three armies marched eastward and swept across the city of Shengjing. His blood boiled in his heart, and he really wanted to lead his troops out again.
But after hearing what the emperor said, he knew that as the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, the focus of his work was on governing the country, rather than commanding thousands of troops to charge into battle.
Hastily bowed and saluted:
"The minister obeys the order."
After Zhu Youjian arranged these two first, he turned his attention to Zheng Chenggong:
"Zheng Aiqing, how are the defenses of the various seaports of Ming Dynasty? If they are attacked by surprise, are they capable of repelling the enemy?"
Zheng Chenggong hastily clasped his fists and replied:
"Your Majesty, whether it's northeast Tianjin or Shandong, there are large sailing warships patrolling each port, and there are also many large-caliber coastal artillery to assist in defense.
With the current strength of the fleets of those countries, they are unable to break through the coast of Daming. Once they land and fight in Daming, they can only seek their own death.
Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan are both the bases of the Ming Navy. It is safe to say that it is safer. It is not that the ministers are talking big. The shore cannons of the mighty generals can definitely damage wooden sailing warships with one shot. Your Majesty does not have to worry about the safety of the rear for the Ming Navy's long-distance voyage. . "
Zhu Youjian still believed in Zheng Chenggong's words. Not only did he have talent, he was also a ruthless person.
Thinking back when the Chinese were massacred in Luzon, he was going to send warships to attack Luzon, but in the end he had no time to take care of it because of the Dongcap attack, so he had no choice but to give up.
Chapter 462 Royal Glass Factory
"No, my lord, Ah Qing wants to be with my lord, Ah Qing is my lord's bodyguard!"
Ah Qing was impatient when she heard that the emperor's imperial convoy did not take her with him. She was the emperor's personal bodyguard, and Ah Qing had no official position. She always referred to Zhu Youjian as her lord.
Zhu Youjian patted Ah Qingyu's hand to comfort her patiently:
"Ah Qing, listen to me. I don't know when I will be back from this long journey. The safety of the princess is really important. It is really inconvenient for others to protect them personally. After thinking about it, only Ah Qing is the most suitable. After I leave, you can move directly to live with the princess, and the safety of the palace will be entrusted to you, remember to protect them personally at all times."
The emperor said so, of course Ah Qing couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed:
"Don't worry, my lord, Ah Qing will definitely protect the princess well. There are many dangers at sea, and you should also take care of your health. Ah Qing hopes that you will triumph soon."
Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand and squeezed Ah Qing's pretty face, smiling:
"Haha, it doesn't matter to me, Ah Qing has to believe in my strength."
"My lord..."
Ah Qing touched the place Zhu Youjian touched, and snuggled into Zhu Youjian's arms...
As the boss of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the princess cannot stay in the palace all the time. Not only does she have to go out of the palace often, she also often goes out of the city to deal with some matters.
The Royal Chamber of Commerce is engaged in some monopoly industries, and it is inevitable that it will touch the interests of those gentry and nobles. Don't forget that the Ming Dynasty and the emperor fell into the water and died.
